Of course, Browne is the same quarterback who beat Darnold for the Trojans’ starting job back in September and started the opening three games of the season. He then watched from the sideline as Darnold became perhaps the hottest name in college football by the end of the Rose Bowl.

Browne, who was a redshirt junior in 2016 and had already graduated, will be eligible immediately as a graduate transfer. He announced in December that he would transfer, and tweeted a few weeks later that he would head to Pittsburgh.
